April 19, 2013

After a successful bout with breakfast, Starbucks is diving deeper into the food market with a new selection of Salad Bowls and Deli Sandwiches available all day but designed with lunch in mind.

The menu launches Saturday at company-operated Starbucks stores in the U.S., with the exception of the Hearty Veggie & Brown Rice Salad Bowl, which will be available only at select stores, according to a Starbucks spokesperson. Each item is less than 450 calories. The menu includes:

• Chicken & Greens Caesar Salad Bowl;
• Zesty Chicken & Black Bean Salad Bowl;
• Hearty Veggie & Brown Rice Salad Bowl;
• Egg Salad Deli Sandwich;
• Turkey & Havarti Deli Sandwich;
• Ham & NY Cheddar Deli Sandwich; and
• Chicken Salad BLT Deli Sandwich.

The chain, according to starbucksmelody.com, is also serving handcrafted sodas, including ginger ale, lemon ale and spiced root beer, in some units.
